Default Sort of, kind of

Hello!

I would like to inquire (or enquire?) about some interesting rule I have experienced.

What is the difference?

- You can get any kind/sort of dishes there.
- There you can get dishes of any kind/any sort.

And another interesting usage:

- I sort of/kind of tried to understand what it was about.

It is always possible to use "kind of" OR "sort of" expressions before a verb. Is it official language?

Thank anybody that can be of some help.

Bye,

Balázs.
